Collord Family at South Lake Union 2012

In November I was lucky enough to meet Sheena and Nate Collord and photograph their beautiful family. We met at the Center for Wooden Boats here in Seattle on South Lake Union and had a blast exploring and taking pictures. Look at the kids' adorable curly hair! I look forward to photographing them more in this next month.

Graveley Family Winter 2012

 

Visiting family in Avon, Montana, I did a short official session with Erin and Will Graveley and their kids Kaylee, Miles, Clara and Finn. I loved exploring their ranch and hope to do more photography there this summer - and someday just hang out, work and photograph some ranch life. Enjoy!

Baby Lincoln

Lincoln Skinner is my new little nephew! We got to meet and hold him when he was 10 days old, over 4th of July weekend. It's amazing how fast these little dudes grow - I saw him over Christmas and he is nowhere close to this small anymore...
Also included = his wonderful brother and sisters (my amazing nephew and nieces!)

On a side-note: I let all the kids over 4th of July play with my camera (as long as they were sitting on my lap) and they had a blast...I'll spare you the flood of fun images they took for the time being even though they did great! Apparently I made an impact because little Miss Maryssa got a camera for Christmas because she played with her mom's camera so much it broke after my creative influence...

Summer Family Photos

Here's the time where I go through my images from the summer and realize...oops...I haven't posted these ANYWHERE and will now flood my blog with my family. Two posts of my family coming up!

Here's some photos from our 4th of July celebration with the Graveley side of the family in Hamilton, MT.

Family Portraits - McGraths July 2012

Greene Family August 2012

I was lucky enough in August, when I was in Montana for my sister's wedding, to visit some good friends, the Greene family, and take some photos of their kids. We had originally planned on a full family portrait session but it was SO hot that night that we just hung out, caught up on life, and I snapped photos of the kiddos while I could. Natalie has gorgeous curly hair and quickly became my buddy, hanging out on my lap on the grass. Connor was about 2 months old in these photos and such a smiley boy. Both kids look so much like Cale it is a little ridiculous :) Golden hour in Montana in the summer lasts forever and with my 50 mm it was perfect for our backyard pictures.

Kleinpeter Family Portraits

Every year I donate a family portrait session to my cousins' school, The Attic. This year I was lucky enough to photograph a family that attends the Attic preschool - the Kleinpeters! Jeanie and Tom were a blast to work with and their kids, Margo and Thomas, were adorable (as you can tell). We worked with the Seattle overcast sky and had some great even lighting. The kids were energetic and totally excited about the trains at Olympic Sculpture Park. Enjoy!

Fiegi Family Portrait Session

Fiegi family portrait session in the Baxter Hotel, Bozeman, MT. We started here and then walked around downtown Bozeman. They were a wonderful, sweet family and I had a blast working with the boys and their creativity.
